I need some feedback on aqueous cleaners. We currently use a Unit Design batch cleaner. We will be looking to upgrade our board washing process and batch sizes in the near future. I am looking for user info. on the advantages/disadvantages to using b

Hello, I have been tasked with updating our PCB cleaning sytem, of which I know little about, and could really use some advice. We are a small company and we hand solder our electronics to IPC standards. Our electronics are mission critial communic

Hi, I always caught our touch-up operators cleaning touched up boards improperly. Either by just wiping with lint free clothe the solder joints of the components after touch up or by just going behind the aqeuous cleaner and scooping some water then

We need to dry and clean the air in our dedicated poting and conformal coating room. Can anybody help on how to go about it. The airconditions only recycle and dry until room temperature is reached and therefore have great fluctuations and unstable p

A little more information on your current wavesoldering process would be helpful in helping you. Information like what kind of flux your are using,how you are applying the flux,what preheat temps you are using,and your conveyor speed. Without knowing

Sorry - don't know of any studies/papers. Having dedicated blades and holders for lead free is best. Also, our customer for lead free requires a line change-over check-off sheet that we follow, sign and keep with all the paperwork for the order. T

Since BGA's are sensitive to contamination in the plating process, I always do a simple solderability test whenever we receive a new batch of boards. Take a board from the batch, apply no clean flux on the BGA site, then try to tin the pads with a m

Recently I have been hearing and see this excess flux residue problem at several companies, US, Mexico, and Japan. It seems to have increased recently. In fact, it seems so common that it seems normal, but if everything is correct, a re-flow oven sho

Hello everybody, We are running a product through wave solder process using three different PCB suppliers. I have noticed that you can see more flux residues (water-based, No-clean flux) on one supplier than on the other two. All three PCBs run unde
